Fig. I. — Roping Reindeer in Winter Corral. 



Herds may be handled successfully even in cold weather. This photograph made on January 10, 

 1921, when the thermometer was between 30° and 40° (F.) below zero. 



Fig. 2. — End of Chute Leading Out of Corral. 



The walls are 7 feet high, and 5 feet apart at the top. The floor space narrows toward the exit, 

 until it is only 1 foot wide (see diagram in text, Figure 2). Under this method of construction 

 crowding of reindeer trying to escape can be prevented by herders stationed on either side to 

 hold them back by catching their horns.
